UCL Module Project: Statistical Design of Investigations (STAT0029)
Date: February 2023
Summary: In this repository, you will find code used to implement an experiment involving human participants playing (Iterated) Prisoner's Dilemma with a computer that is anthropomorphized at different levels. Specifically, most of the code here was used for implemention of experiment (game) interface. The overall aim of the experiment was to investigate how cooperation between players and the computer would vary at different levels of anthropomorphization. Notably, this research was largely inspired by previous research from the paper Promises and trust in human–robot interaction (Cominelli et. al, 2021).
Results: Results and findings are detailed in the following report, which was submitted for grading.
Additionally, this project was awarded a distinction, scoring highly for being well-written and appropriate experimental design.
